Admittedly, it's Full of Nonsense, Extreme Hosting and Self-Help Jargon. But I Do Love Meghan's Festive Episode.

No concerned with the season, it's always fair game for commentary on the Meghan Markle's televisual offering, With Love, Meghan. Commentators, both professional and armchair, have rarely been so united as when enthusiastically shredding the program's initial installments to shreds. The common opinion was that a bigger monarchy-related faux pas had never been witnessed than the much-discussed pretzel re-packaging incident.

Currently, like a merry renegade master, she has returned for another round with a "Christmas Special" (or a Christmas special). Yet now, the dynamic has changed. The standard components viewers are accustomed to – vague self-help platitudes, overzealous entertaining – remain, but set of a Christmas special, the purpose becomes clear. The elements have slid together; it's a perfect snow storm.

Now, Meghan is like the quirky relative at Christmas celebrations everywhere – dispensing unasked-for guidance, and delivering the periodic peculiar declaration. ("I love spinach!" … "A tradition has to have a beginning." … "A tree is part of my memory and love of the holiday season.") She's an interesting figure, but her presence is familiar and strangely comforting. And she appears pleased; she's inflicting any harm.

She understands her each tiny facial movement, syllable and gaze will be analyzed and scrutinized, but manages to seem unburdened and serenely untroubled.

Perhaps this is the initial instance in history where that well-worn saying – "Pay no mind, it's only envy" – could actually be true. Since, in all honesty, all aspects in Meghan's Holiday Celebration truly is charming. Admittedly, it's all cringily ultra-extra, nonsense and extravagant – but isn't that precisely what the holiday season is for? And the talk she's talking might be laughable, but the example she sets seems authentically shop-bought.

Whatever she attempts, she executes with style. Her recipes looks tasty, the festive decoration she creates is gorgeous, her presents are nearly too beautiful to tear into. Not a single thing is mediocre or aesthetically displeasing – even the way she fastens her kitchen garment is stylish and elegant. She doesn't bung a meal in the microwave, it "takes a twirl", and she creases gift paper like an craft master. She also seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself throughout. How could any skeptical viewer not be convinced, bursting with festive joy and left with a deep longing for handmade crackers or a vegetable display where broccoli is organized in the likeness of a wreath?

Meghan had a career in acting for a living, obviously, but despite that, after the level of scrutiny she has weathered ever since she met Prince Harry, the love child of acting royalty would have difficulty behaving this genuinely. Her unwillingness to change or even soften her persona, despite it being so persistently, internationally ridiculed, is weirdly comforting. In our uncertain world, here is something we can rely on: Meghan will remain herself, no matter what. We will always know what to expect with her.

If you're still not buying her message, a thought that will surely come as a comfort: you are not obligated to. We don't have mandatory conscription anymore, and if there were, it would be unlikely to include streaming With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration. If, on the other hand, you willingly check it out and are consumed by longing about her idyllic Christmas, there is hope either. Whether you're a duchess or a everyday person, no kid completely grasps the dedication and labor their mum puts in in December. So you can take heart by picturing her children's faces when they open a calligraphy note that says, 'I love you because you are brave,' from a handcrafted holiday countdown, in place of a chocolate.
